I currently have an aston vantage, which i love dearly, but reliability- esp flat battery weekly means Im not so happy

Is gallardo same/more/less reliable- anybody lucky enough to have owned both at some point

Cheers

i had a vantage and still have gallardo

they are two really different cars, i used the vantage on a daily basis and i have only put 400 miles on my G in 4 months lol

the G is reliable and the aston isnt, i went back to dealers about 20 times for small niggles one after another most unreliable car ive ever had but also v nice to drive.

problem you will have mate unless ur prepared to loose a lot of money i did 15 k in 8 months it will be difficult to move on

my advice, a G as a everyday car isnt for me

I drive a gallardo, daily, and father in law has AMV8 which he speaks highly of, and uses daily. I commute daily in Gallardo. 6k miles and about to embark upon 3k mile european road trip and so far no problems. not one. not one squeak, rattle or hum. AND NO BROKEN CLUTCH people, just move on....which compared with previous cars inc offerings from MB and BMW is a good record.

However - my enthusiasm to drive it daily is waning - that's the urban london commute by the way. On the right road the gallardo is awesome, on the wrong road it can be tiresome is my summation.

My Gallardo was one of the most reliable cars I have owned to date.

11k miles and no issues - other than a little plastic bit fell off one of the windscreen wiper ends.
